@barkas, indeed. Also the triangular sail, which allow the Portuguese to navigate down the African coast and reach the Cape of the Good Hope, and then go “back up” via the other side of the Atlantic (possibly getting an idea of where is Brazil, decades before Columbus reached America).

On Judaism, consider the Persian influence in early Judaism – probably all 3 monotheistic (aka Abrahamic) religious are initially influenced by key concepts from Zoroastrianism… some of the tribes of Israel had links there… but that’s another story…

It’s fun and diverse. The latter is particularly true if you manage to skip tons of US politics-related posts similar to the ones you find on non-Fediverse platforms. Try non-English language channels. Those are far more globally diverse, smart and interesting (aka less US-centric).

Here’s a list of hundreds of communities in the Lemmyverse: https://lemmyverse.net/communities

Mostly prepping to go without food, electricity, travelling or communications because of sabotage of vital infrastructure (in Europe and UK is happening on a weekly basis) and climate catastrophes which are regular in the UK since 2020(ish) and increasing. There are also potential lockdowns because of pandemics (e.g. measles from US). Also Brexit Britain is now inoperative in terms of food safety, really, since it relies on mainland Europe food imports to survive. If something fails or there’s a mega-storm, supermarkets will be empty for days like they were in 2018 or 2020.

Odd thing to say, as the religion these people claim to follow (and the “book” attached to it) is a reworked and simplified (i.e. monotheistic) believe system started in what is now Iran and Iraq. And if it wasn’t for “Arab” maps and maritime science, Europeans would never been able to start their colonial sea expansion and, subsequently, the great-great-great parents of this scum would have reach the Americas … just saying.

The best TV show IN ENGLISH… plenty of better TV show in other languages… just saying.

#MAGA?

Thanks for clarifying, dragospirvu75@lemmy.ml

Tell me more about > Arnacon. Can you connect to WhatsUp users?

OR carry on using WhatsApp on Beeper for now. https://www.beeper.com/ You can start using Signal and WhatsApp at the same time using Beeper, and start a slower transition by convincing your contacts to do the same.

What a great example of contemporary British architecture and urban furniture.

Oh, I see. OK got the impression you didn’t need to import anything

Had a go, nkk, thanks. Any tips on customisation? It works for me at some level, but it doesn’t fetch my preferences. I assume this is because it bypasses cookies and logins and so on…

Thinking about following the same approach

Use cash or cards. But there’s something called https://walt.is/ … no idea if it’s OK or a scam, really. Still in beta stage, and you need to join the waitlist.

thanks sompreno

I’m trying https://koofr.eu/ first 10 GB are free. So far so good.

All small co-ops or Lidls in the UK will have bins at the back, and those are normally easy to access to. Just go for a walk and explore before you take anything. Look for cameras, but be relaxed about it. When you feel confident about it, go back after closing time, wear gloves, carry a torch and tots or large shopping bags. Try not to break in into locked dumpsters/bins. Don’t make a mess. Be quick and act swiftly. Don’t be greedy, take only what you can carry. Avoid meat or fish if already defrosted and/or warm. If caught don’t argue back, be polite and leave. Last but not least, you shouldn’t be ashamed of what you are doing, and most of the security around these places feel the same about the shameful way these corps conduct their business. Good luck!
